JFC One Barrel [No. 54] 6-Year Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky

A single barrel finished in a once-used Caldwell Cooperage Port barrel, No. 54 greets you with a whopping 131 proof, though you'd never know it on account of the soft toasted hazelnut and toffee flavors leading the charge. The port barrel has imparted a sweet, fruit-forward, with ample oak tannin from the best French oak money can buy, to keep everything in check, making this one of the most balanced and easy drinking bourbon in the One Barrel lineup.
 
Almost sherried in style, it’s an overall sensual and delectable spirit with alcohol, flavor and tannin in equal measure. Rich blackberry syrup, fig, and vanilla frosting, its tannin-forward mid-palate quickly resolves into a mouthful of silk. With the most refined tannin integration among the 6-year offerings, this is the bottle you’ll want to share to with friends who don’t yet understand your bourbon enthusiasm.
